How about presenting chemical formulas and structures of molecules differently? We are used to skeletal presentations or diagrams. But what about an artistic visualization of symmetry? In increasing abstraction by removing minor details, Chris Kingsbury and Mathias Senge have come up with a general form similar to the early works of the artist Piet Mondrian (1872-1944). The Mondrian plot presented here is a simple tool for the analysis of molecular symmetry, which can be used for structural discussion and display.
